2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

Obvious alert...Cooper Flagg is really, really good.  I watched the game yesterday.  The first time I had really watched him closely.  I love him.  The athleticism, defense, IQ, passing, etc.  He is by far the best player on that team, but they are a deep team and he doesn't dominate the ball.  It is really refreshing watching him play.  To think he just turned 18 makes it even more impressive.    He is going to make some team really happy.    He is probably not Wemby level prospect, but you can make a case for him over every other #1 pick over the last 10 years.  After the game, I watched his season highlights.  His passing is something that really sticks out.  He already knows how to play with a rim running big.

His fluidity with size really intrigues me. and the fact that he takes pride on the defensive end of the court makes me giddy. I saw a comparison video that compared him to Andrew Kerilinko. That level of defense, matched with his size, is INSANE.


So far offensively he really relies on his athleticism but that can be built. Sheesh I’d want  Cooper so bad on the Mavs
